The Rebirth of a Diva

Episode 152: The Wrong Sleeping Position

“I ...” She leaned on the head of the bed and folded her legs towards him as she hugged him.

Li Lei sat on the edge of the bed and gently asked, “Are you having nightmares?”

Xia Ling hesitated before nodding her head.

What are you dreaming of? She asked.

Xia Ling did not reply but hugged herself tighter.

Anxiety crept into Li Lei's mind. It was like many random moments that he felt that Xia Ling was so far away, so far away that it seemed like she would disappear like a bubble in the next second.

He didn't like this feeling.

However, he understood that there were some things that you could not force. If he didn't want to say it, there was no way he could dismantle it.

Li Lei's eyes darkened slightly, but it wasn't enough to notice it. He stretched out his hand and carefully hugged her. Xia Ling's body was small in her arms, like a skinny and skinny bird, and she struggled agitatedly for a moment before remaining silent in her arms. She patted slowly and gently on her slender back and combed her long, slightly messy hair with her warm fingers.

“Xiao Ling,” said as she kissed gently on top of her head. “I'm here.”

Xia Ling's face stuck to her chest, and she could hear her steady and powerful heartbeat through the thin cotton t-shirt she was wearing. He could feel the gentle breath of the man above his head, and his embrace was like a safe and reliable mountain.

His messy and frightening piece of memory disappeared unnoticed.

He raised his head slightly and asked, “Are you going to stay here?”

Li Lei laughed. “Of course. Xiao Ling, sleep, I will accompany you here. ” He shifted slightly to the side, still hugging her, and leaned his wide back against the head of the bed. He pulled out a soft fur blanket to cover Xia Ling, whose body felt somewhat cold.

The warmth and comfort of her embrace made Xia Ling slowly close her eyes. Leaning into Li Lei's embrace, he fell asleep in no time.

This time, he was not bothered by his nightmares.

Li Lei hugged her with one hand and used the other to send a text message. “Investigate what happened in the afternoon at the filming location ‘War and Death.’ In particular, I want to know what Miss Ye did, and who Miss Ye saw all day. “

There were bodyguards following him secretly, and not long after that Li Lei received a reply.

Li Lei's lips stiffened into a thin line as he read the information sent, and he thought hard.

The next day, Xia Ling woke up and found herself still lying in Li Lei's arms. He hugged her peacefully while sleeping with his head pressed against the head of the bed. The sun shone through the flower curtain and onto his handsome face, making him seem like a God in myth. There was a light between his eyebrows, shining like a golden flake, making you involuntarily attracted to him.

Xia Ling thought that he was very handsome, more handsome than anyone she had ever seen before…

No. gabe.

Another handsome silhouette entered his mind at that moment. Quietly but powerfully, like a demon that walked out from the depths. He shivered to escape from his daydream.

He sat down from Li Lei's embrace, feeling a little guilty. He slept in an uncomfortable half-sitting position all night, while he slept comfortably in his arms. He pulled the blanket still warm from his body temperature and gently pulled it over him. He also thought of trying to help her lie down, but he did not budge as he tried to pull her into a lying position.

This man was not fat at all, why was he so heavy?

Xia Ling felt a little sad, and as she looked around while thinking of getting a few more pillows to prop her up in a more comfortable position, Li Lei slowly opened her eyes.

He said in a slightly confused voice, “Xiao Ling?”

Xia Ling looked at him for half a second and asked, “Are you awake?”

“If you wake up, then you can lie down by yourself. Wrong sleeping position, back to sleep. ”

Li Lei did not know how to answer.

“It's okay, I slept well last night.” He could see the worry and guilt veiled in his statement and burst into laughter. “How about you? Do you feel better? Making a movie is a physically exhausting proposition. “

Xia Ling nodded. “Thank you.. for last night.” If he didn't hug her to sleep, there was no way she could fall asleep all night, and that would delay filming today. His appearance last night was on time. Yet…

“For what did you come here?” He forgot to ask last night.

To see you. Li Lei replied without further ado. “I miss you.” Actually, Li Lei had received word from the bodyguards that Old Master Gu and Gu Lin had come to the set. He was worried and, hence, rushed at the first moment. Unexpectedly, Old Master Gu did not complicate his life at all, but Xia Ling was still in a mentally unstable state when he found her.

What trauma caused him to react like this?

Li Lei thought about the diagnosis Dr. James about him. “She's been through some very destructive trauma. For example, death threats, imprisonment, rape. ”.

Therefore, he would be triggered whenever he met with the same situation.

Li Lei did not dare to think too deeply about what Xia Ling might encounter because it was too frightening. He just had to imagine her in pain to feel the unbearable pain in his heart. But he was sure of one thing. Her life and life history have been made up, “Ye Xingling” life is too smooth, there is no premonition of a traumatic event.

He was full of anxiety, but on the surface, he kept joking with Xia Ling.

Xia Ling was unsuspecting and had breakfast with Li Lei, telling him not to run anywhere except to remain in the room, and followed the large group back to the set. Perhaps because of a good night's rest, everyone was excited, and filming went well with much less NG. The final scene finished at about three or four in the afternoon.

Xia Ling's part was done, so she went to look for Jin Yifei to say goodbye.

Jin Yifei asked, “You're going back to town now? The rest will be over in a few days, won't you want to stay for a celebratory dinner at the end of all filming? ”

Xia Ling was tempted to stay, but she thought of the Big Boss she had hidden in her room. This place was unlike the audition room, but was filled by top actors and actresses with her manager, and there were also all the staff on set. If any of them recognized Li Lei and spoke to the reporters, there was no way he could explain himself.

He has to leave now.

Seeing his decision to leave, Jin Yifei did not hold it back anymore. He said goodbye to her and told her to take care of herself.

Xia Ling left with Li Lei back to their S City apartment.

In the following days, he was very busy with the updated support deal from Gu Financial Magnate for Meteor Wings. Her entire schedule was turned upside down, and Sister Mai Na had to sit down with her to rearrange her entire schedule again. It was packed from morning to night, apparently trying to squeeze 48 hours of work into 24 hours a day.

Li Lei quietly went to meet someone.

On the last day of filming “War and Death,” on the location of filming.

Everyone had gone to go for a celebratory dinner, and the magnificent palace that became the filming location had been torn down. There was a long empty corridor, a large hall, and a dragon throne, which made the place look very quiet under the night sky.

Old Man Bao stood in the same shadow as the set.

Li Lei stood opposite him. “Who are you?”

“Only parents manage property.” Old Man Bao's voice was hoarse as usual.

“Oh, so?” Li Lei laughed lightly and took two steps forward. “As far as I understand, you have another name – Wang Jingzhou, former heir to the Wang family company, and also the future father-in-law of Pei Ziheng.”
